How does the matching work ? I'm seeing that majority of games, 1 team has players with lower win rates, loose streaks whilst the other one has much higher win rates and people on win streaks, with maybe 100-200 higher mmr than the other team.. Doesn't seem too balanced to me, tbf.
zarxus12344 votesits 100% matchmaking. It is designed to have one team with a higher mmr than the other instead of trying to make it fair.

Is that real or are you being sarcastic lol ? Because that sounds like a horrible system
5050BS1 votesThat is how it is.
Riot thinks everyone should be at 50% win rate and if you go above 50% it will stack the enemy team against you or stack YOUR team with afkers/Trolls/Feeders (because riot knows who these people are)
Der Lindwurm4 votesThe matchmaking algorithm has to be really poorly engineered to be the complete garbage it is, but probably the biggest problem is that in order to speed up queue times with a declining pool of available players it needs to settle for blatantly unfair matches just to get games going.
70815577DEL13 votesMy current match has 1 team, 4/5 people under 50% win rate and 2nd team 5/5 with above 50% win rate. This is just laughable..
chipndip12 votesThey aren't. People are just stupid, throw games or shit the bed early, then come here to complain instead of learn from their mistakes.

How is that related to anything i'm talking about ? I'm not crying about my games, I stomp more matches than i lose. I'm just surprised about how 1 sided 95% of the matches are that's all. It definently raises a question on the balancing and fairness of this matchmaking system.
Azadethe1 votesHe's saying your 95% of matches are 1 sided because some players go into the game with a losing attitude, get defensive over legimate advice, and generally decide to make poor choices/not play the game, which gives the other team an easy win.
And he's not wrong. That's mostly what happens. The other is that most low elo game players rely on "luck" rather than "skill" and generally pull near 50% wins by Yoloing, so they never learn from mistakes. They just blame their 50% on other players, and don' realize that often, their yolo set up the loss.
You have no idea how many players when you call them out on feeding 0/5 after they get toxic, they simply blame the team for not covering them. They made no faults farming way out in lane and getting jungle ganked 5 times in a row. They made no faults not religiously warding in a game where they placed 4 wards total. They made no mistakes chasing low HP targets into an unwarded enemy jungle. They just don't understand, that what they did, laid a 2-3k gold advantage laner on the rest of their team, which is enough to allow their kits to have the value of 2 champs in sustainable damage at a fast pace.

You spoke about a general majority, not yourself.
I gave a general answer, not one about you specifically.
Why do people like to just "get offended" on these boards all of a sudden?
Regardless, I have too much experience with teammates that blatantly do not want to shape up their play during game. People are too focused on individual performance in a team game, and that makes the game more snowbally and less fun. When people play the game smarter, matches are way more fulfilling...like WAY more. Ultimately, not every bad start leads to a loss, and not every good start leads to a win. People don't play smart. If they did, a lot of this crying wouldn't be happening.
Kiw34341 votesWell, it is Riot after all. They're probably more focused on champions than on balanced systems and the opinions of the League community.
Cotten Eyed Joe1 votesThe current meta favors hard stomp champs. As such, it is quite likely to have one team hard stomp the other. All these supposed, "Rito fix your shit" and "Algorithms are shit" are just complaints because people can't understand how to end games quickly or hard stomp.
Death by Glamour1 votesSome will say ots completely matchmakings fault, no it isnt.
Its the snowballing
Sex Crazed Eve1 votesEither because one side is playing to the meta and the other refuses to, or one side doesn't understand the current meta. Most games are still decided in champ select.
5050BS1 votesBecause Riot has not clue how to make a Balanced game
Mordepool1 votesPeople can't play from behind anymore. The mentality isn't there. Plus all the snow bally BS riot has added to the game makes it harder as well
